Summary

This document is a transcript of a redirect examination in a legal proceeding, filed on February 24, 2022. A witness named Brune is questioned about why they did not investigate an individual further, despite a Westlaw report indicating she was a suspended attorney. The witness explains their belief that the report had conflated two different people with the same name, and they were convinced the person in question was a 'Bronxville stay-at-home wife' and not the lawyer.

"I didn't, but I have to say that I don't believe it would have changed what happened here. By that I mean that this thing to me, without having any particular expertise in these things, looks like it mushed two people with the same name together. I was convinced that she was the Bronxville stay-at-home wife and not the suspended lawyer."
